About

REC is a vintage camcorder, retro video camera and film camera in one app. Pick a camcorder. Press record. The tape comes back already played — tape hiss, tracking slips, the blinking REC and the date burnt into the corner. No sliders, no editing afterwards. 23 VIDEO LOOKS • Camcorder — VHS, VHS-C, Hi8, Digital8, MiniDV, Beta and more, with the tape artifacts that come with them: color bleeding sideways, tracking that slips, the torn strip along the bottom edge. • Cine Film — 8mm and 16mm, with gate weave, frame judder, dust and scratches down the print. • Fun — CCTV, night vision, bodycam, trail cam, thermal, webcam and more. THE SOUND IS OLD TOO Most retro camera apps stop at the picture. REC runs your audio through the same machine: band-limited like a real tape track, constant hiss, wow and flutter as the transport drifts, mono where the era was mono. A clip that looks like 1994 and sounds like 1994. THE CAMCORDER HUD The blinking REC, the battery, the tape counter — live over the viewfinder, and if you want, printed onto the tape exactly where they sat. TAPES Record several takes onto one tape. Where two takes meet, the picture tears for a moment — the seam every real compilation had. 48 PHOTO CAMERAS • Digital — CCD compacts and early digicams for the lo-fi Y2K look. • 35mm Film — rangefinders, SLRs, disposables and toy cameras, each with its own color, contrast and grain. • Medium Format — twin-lens, 6x6, 6x7 and a pinhole. • Instant — square and pocket prints with the white border. • Fun — fisheye, VHS, thermal, CCTV and webcam. FILM EFFECTS AND LENSES Burnt-in date stamp, light leaks, dust and grain — live in the viewfinder, changeable on any shot later. Screw-on prism, fisheye, star and halo lenses stack on any camera. THE CAMERA ITSELF • 4:3, 16:9, square and 21:9 anamorphic. • Flash and a self-timer. • Double exposure — hold one frame back, land the next one on top of it. • Import photos and videos you already have and develop them through any look. KEEPSAKES Turn a shot into a polaroid, postcard, stamp, film strip or scrapbook page before you share it. WHAT PEOPLE SHOOT WITH IT • VHS effect videos for TikTok and Reels — birthdays, parties, concerts, whole trips on one tape. • The 90s camcorder home-video look without hunting eBay for a working deck and a capture card. • Found-footage, CCTV and bodycam clips for Halloween and skits. • 2000s digicam photo dumps for Instagram, and analog film shots with real grain instead of a flat preset. WHY REC • The look is live in the viewfinder — picture and sound, before you press record. • No sliders, no editing, no presets to scroll through. • Videos and photos save to your camera roll at full quality, with no watermark. • Every camcorder, camera, look, lens and effect in one subscription. No paid packs. • Your library backs up to iCloud, and the app comes with alternate icons.
